Sri Bhagvad Gita is and would remain, for all time to come, as the greatest exponent of the Advaita philosophy of the Hindus. No effort to put forth strong evidence in support of this statement is necessary. A mere glance at the number of commentaries on Gita, written by illustrious saints of India and Indian scholars to expound the teachings of Sri Krsna in The Song Celestial would convince the reader that Gita engaged the attention of every great Hindu teacher and founder of religious sect. Sri Sankaracarya, the venerable advocate of the Vedanta philosophy, Sri Madhavcarya and others, who differed diametrically in their beliefs, voluntarily united in their reverence and admiration for the Gita of Sri Krsna. Jain and Buddha scholars pay similar homage to the divine song. European savants have been equally enthusiastic in their esteem for that immortal advice given to Arjuna and through him to the world by Sri Krsna on the plains of Kurukshetra, Gita is the essence of the Vedas and in importance it is scarcely less.
